8. Dante
Born Harry August Jansen, this magician first took up the name of the Great Jansen under which he even went on a world tour. However, the man who then discovered him and gave his career the boost it was thirsty for, changed Jansen’s stage name to Dante the Magician, a name thought to be quite fitting for a magician especially of his stature. After that, he became famous around the globe, with his frequent world tours and performances in innumerable theaters.
A couple of biographies have also been penned down after his death to celebrate his life and skill in the field of magic. The last one is a bit recent, being published in 2006.
